Conversation Starters 

  • Urge mentees toward excellence, drive them toward gentleness.

  • A good mentor can change a game. A great mentor can change a life.

  • The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.

  • If you cannot see where you are going, ask someone who has been there before.

  • Mentoring is all about unlocking greatness from within the mentee.
